Blake Hall was unique on LU in being too remote to have a mains
electricity supply. The station lighting was fed directly from the
DC traction supply, and the lights used to dim as the train
accelerated away from Ongar.

Essex Road had that dubious feature too until BR took over. We saw the
lights dim as a train left when we reversed direction there on the
Underground Trip in 1970.

From your comments I dont think I can ever see the line going past Epping
again. Would other people agree?
